To Kyntoi, to Caius Passeri, the centurion, from Hermon of Demetrius. There is for me concerning the village of Thein of the Thmoisephoi district of the Oxyrynchites a paternal cleruchy called Dryos, in which there is a public plot and a pit between our lands and the naval station and other public duties, being forcibly taken and being seized by the fishermen, Pausios and Papsioutos and the brother and Kaleous and Melanos and Attinos and Pasoitus and those with them, not a few in number. Having brought also Tition the soldier with many nets and traps, they came upon our pit with fish traps and caught fish worth a talent of silver, and when I was being counted among them, they approached me as if they were about to take me away. But since they were forcibly taking me in many ways, I ask that if it seems right, the ones who are accusing me be brought to you, so that they may return to me the value of the fish, as is appropriate, and in the future they may be separated from our affairs, that you may be benefactor. May it be successful.
